2013 AUDI A62.0L DIESEL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of neglecting minor electrical and peripheral defects. The most recent test in August 2025 at 82,155 miles passed despite an advisory for a defective nearside rear direction indicator. This follows a similar failure in the August 2024 test at 72,668 miles where the same indicator fault was noted alongside poor washer performance. While the car passes, these entries suggest the owner only addresses faults when necessitated by a failure. The mileage profile is consistent with typical annual use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the car covered 10,660 miles, followed by another 9,487 miles in the subsequent year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly, which generally helps prevent age-related rubber components and seals from drying out due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension assembly. The recorded failure in August 2023 at 62,008 miles identified excessively worn rear lower arm bushes on both sides, and a test just one month prior had noted play in the nearside front upper suspension arm ball joint. Given the age of the Audi A6, the buyer should check for further play in the control arms and bushings, as these are common points of wear. The recurring rear indicator light fault also indicates a potential wiring issue or a failing bulb holder that requires attention to ensure future compliance.
